SPOTLIGHT MONDAY: SEXUAL ASSUALT AWARENESS MONTH

Episode Summary

On today’s episode we wanted to shine the light on sexual violence since April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center launched the Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) in 2001. According to the online article “Sexual Assault Awareness Month on angiegensler.com (https://angiegensler.com/sexual-assault-awareness-month/), “SAAM’s objectives are to promote education, prevention, survivor support, and the advocacy of policy changes at all levels to ensure that everyone is part of preventing sexual violence by recognizing consent as essential for healthy relationships.” In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we also wanted to support our guest Carmen, from episodes 41 & 42, who is a sexual assault survivor and shared her personal story of trauma and triumphs. So, come ride along with us.
